Any MTAC representative or USPS executive can propose an issue that would require the formation of a new work group. Problems and issues must be industry-related, timely, and the potential solution should pertain to something that concerns both the industry and the USPS.

Task Teams: A dedicated group of individuals quickly addressing very specific issues. They achieve results in a strict, often urgent period of time. The group concludes when the task or problem resolution is completed.

User Groups: These select groups serve as an ongoing forum for users of a particular postal product or process. The User Groups of today cover a wide-range of topics from Intelligent Mail, addressing, labeling lists, and eVS, to FAST, visibility, MTEOR, and promotions.

Work Groups: These proficient groups address defined issues and provide recommendations. The group concludes when recommendations are submitted for consideration.
